  7. Here is a first for me.............................................

    i get what you are saying and you are not wrong but you also need to do a little work yourself to make sure you get a quality person to do the job. not saying you shouldn't check things and i am ok with a customer asking questions and or making sure i am using the proper materials but this is...

    well there is a fine line where common sense has to come in to play as well. you can go to college and or trade school but one class they don't teach is common sense
  9. Here is a first for me.............................................

  10. What should I learn from this?

    next time even though there may be jokes and snarky remarks ask before you do the job. if i am doing a new job (new type of process, vehicle or whatever but i never did it before) i will ask other friends in the business or ask on here to get some idea of what i am getting in too. if nothing...
  11. Polycarbonate vinyl outgassing

    looks like it's just the base white vinyl that's bubbling. not sure why, incompatible with the polycarb? maybe not adhering due to the age and weathering of the polycarb? bad mounting? did you mount it by hand or with a laminator? using a laminator will give you better full coverage pressure for...
  12. Issue with first time doing wall decals

    what vinyl and laminate did you use (both cast)? do you have pics of the original problem? based on what you are telling us it sounds like a paint issue
  13. high temp vinyl, is there such a thing?

    mgarick, when i first started i used 651 all the time and still do but over time i noticed using it just on the hoods of vehicle s it didn't hold up so if it can't take that heat and weathering i am sure it won't hold up on the sides of the asphalt truck, thanks though
  14. high temp vinyl, is there such a thing?

    gino thx for the idea i will see what we can do on that. boudica thx as well funning thing the truck in that pic is one of my customer's competitors. i think i will try the easiest option first and try to redesign the graphics so they only go across the upper area of the bed. that seems to hold...
  15. high temp vinyl, is there such a thing?

    customer has a paving company that we letter the trucks, specifically the bed of the dump trucks. they get extremely hot from the asphalt so over time it burns the vinyl lettering. first time i did it with orajet 3751 and that lasted like 3 or 4 years. second go around i used orajet 3951HT,it...

  19. Just venting - VG series

    we got a truvis VG540 when they first came out and it was a big lemon. we also have had roland printers for like 12-15 years before with little to know issues (at least nothing compared to this) i was ready to throw the thing in the parking lot and tell them to come pick it up. even to this day...
